Massachusetts gun laws have infringed on the rights of the people to bear arms for far too long. They have become so draconian that to exercise our right to bear arms, one guaranteed by the Second Amendment to the Constitution for the United States and Article XVII of the Massachusetts State Constitution, the people of Massachusetts have already been judged guilty without due process. This petition is here by established to repeal the Assault Weapons ban in Massachusetts and protect the Second Amendment rights of the people of Massachusetts.
This law has literally never saved a life. Having a 10 round magazine when you should have had a 17 round magazine, but for the law you didn't. The bad guy shoots you 7 more times then you do him. These types of "gun control" laws COST lives NOT save lives.
